does your server using Apache or IIS?

(does it support PHP or ASP?... or none)

PHP: http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/password-protect.php

ASP: http://www.codefixer.com/tutorials/password_protect.asp

I had my index.htm as a asp, it worked fine for about 3 weeks then it went to a unfound page. I called and I was on a strickly windows server so i know asp is not the answer
i am going to try the php Thank you..

if it's a windows server, chances are it's using IIS, which supports ASP not PHP. Although, the server admin does have the capability to install PHP.

I have already got a login page so how do I make it go to the page that holds the data..? I also have a registration page

To hold the data, you would store the information in a cookie.

Using ASP, you should have something of the sort:

Username="user"
Password="pswd"
if Strcomp(Request.Form("User"),Username,1)=0 AND Request.Form("password") = Password then
Response.Cookies("loggedIn") = Validated
Response.Cookies ("loggedIn").Expires = DATE

but without a link or code, it's impossible to help you with your code.

In dreamweaver you have to create a recordset which holds the login info and passwords. Then click on the little plus button and click on user authentication then it will ask you where to get the passwords and where to go if they login correctly or not. Not sure if thats what you need, but works for me.
